Just installed Node-RED and every thing went well, I thought. Logged in and can see everything even the Home Assistant in the left menu. On my first flow I entered the "Current State Flow" from the left menu and dragged that component into the flow layout. I then doubled clicked on that item to set it up and received the error: Error Cannot GET /homeassistant/entities. Stuck here.

## Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key. If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter your credentials. You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

my guess would be that docker is bloacking access to the ports that home assistant uses.  
FYI If using docker it would be useful to state that
